The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released a final rule establishing tolerance levels for the pesticide pyridate on specific crops, including peas and soybeans. These tolerances, requested by Belchim Crop Protection US Corporation, are set under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and are meant to ensure that there is no harm from pesticide residue exposure. The rule defines acceptable residue levels in food products and emphasizes safety considerations, particularly for infants and children. The rule is effective starting March 21, 2025, and the EPA assures that these levels are safe following extensive research and risk assessments.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a new regulation allowing a specific tolerance level for the pesticide cyprodinil on cranberries. This rule, requested by the Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4), sets the maximum permitted residue level on cranberries at 0.4 parts per million to ensure safety in compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. EPA's assessment concluded that there is a reasonable certainty of no harm to humans, including children, from this exposure level. The regulation ensures that all necessary safety and risk assessments have been properly conducted and that the new tolerance standard does not exceed the established safe limits.
